Earth Observatory Aerosol Optical Depth
Listed in NASA Data Portal
Tiny solid and liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere are called aerosols.
Description
Windblown dust, sea salts, volcanic ash, smoke from wildfires, and pollution from factories are all examples of aerosols. Depending upon their size, type, and location, aerosols can either cool the surface, or warm it.
They can help clouds to form, or they can inhibit cloud formation. And if inhaled, some aerosols can be harmful to people’s health.
